just did that several times yesterday. Nice fish too but just as well
takes too long to land them buggers and didn't want to eat 'em.

Just as interesting the Tiemco hooks open up while Dai-Riki's and Eagle
Claws just break. Which is better?

fwiw, Paul G and I both had hooks "straightened" this weekend.
But it took some monstrous fish in fairly heavy water to do it to what could
be argued to have been undersized wire hooks. [grammar check *that* ;-]

One word: Steelhead.
